Question 1 :
Write an article in 200 words on ‘The Role of Youth in
National Development’ to be published in your school magazine. You are
Mumtaz/Mohd. Azam of XII Std., Bharathiya Vidya Bhavan, Delhi.
Answer:
The Role of Youth in National Development
By: Mumtaz
Youths are the assets and hope of a nation. The future of a nation depends on its youth. They can play a very constructive role in the progress, uplift and development of a nation. The role of youth has become more important today as the modem era is becoming fast-paced, complex and complicated. The advent of computers and modem technology has brought a revolution in the field of information. Modem educated youth can help in national development by attending to the ills and shortcomings in various sectors. They can help the villagers shed their shackles of ignorance, illiteracy and superstition by acquainting them with true facts. New scientific techniques can help in raising the yield of crops. The problem of unemployment or underemployment can be overcome by establishing small scale industries. They can guide the rural youth about cheap raw material and profitable disposal of finished products. The youth can help in checking population growth by adopting family planning and presenting living examples to others. They can play a vital role in making India a great democratic, progressive and prosperous country steeped in old cultural values but equipped with modern scientific outlook. Last but not the least, they can play a vital role in transforming the moral fabric of society by curbing the vices of selfishness and greed and imbibing the spirit of self-sacrifice, sympathy and mutual confidence.
Q.2 Emotionally as well as intellectually, a woman is as good as
a man if not better. Yet we don’t allow her the same status as a man enjoys in
society. Write an article in 150-200 words on ‘Status of Women in Society’. You
are Navtej/Navita.
Answer:
Status Of Women In Society
By: Navita
Women are emotionally and intellectually at par with their
men counterparts but unfortunately, they are not given the same status that a
man enjoys in the society.
It is generally seen and believed that women have lower
status in context to power and influence than men in all spheres of life
family, community, religion and politics. Certain scholars have attributed this
inferior status of women to the patriarchal code of living. Though our
Constitution has laid down the equality of the genders as a fundamental right
but often women are discriminated against at home, their workplace and in the
society in general. They don’t even get equal pay for equal work at some
places. They single-handedly balance the pressures of domestic and public life.
In recent decades we have witnessed a series of laws passed
for the upliftment of women. These legislations have been brought to give equal
rights and privileges to women as men, to eliminate discriminations against
women and remove inequality between genders.
But all these opportunities are wasted if certain stereotypes and biases distort the way women are perceived, often to their disadvantage.
Q.3 Increase in the number of vehicles causes pollution and
traffic jams. Write an article in 150-200 words for ‘The New Indian Express’,
Delhi, highlighting the urgent need to solve these man-made problems, giving
suitable suggestions. You are Madhav/Madhuri.
Answer:
The Problem Of Pollution
By: Madhav
Cities, in general, have a great deal in common with vehicles.
In fact they often seem to be turning into vehicles. India’s population and its
traffic is concentrated within its cities. The increasing number of vehicles in
Delhi is putting our city at the risk of completely losing clean air to
breathe. Delhi would have, in fact, been buried under a pollution load if the
Supreme Court had not intervened to introduce cleaner fuels and emissions
technology in the city, in the form of CNG-run public vehicles. Moreover,
increase in the number of vehicles also means getting stuck in rush traffic
hour which has also become a routine.
It is high time we now look towards solving this problem of
heavy traffic congestion which is taking a toll both on our health and our
time. The traffic police department must use technology for controlling and
monitoring the movement of vehicles at important and busy crossroads for which
the department officials can also take the help of Close Circuit T.V. Drives
should be launched to educate the masses about the importance of driving in their
respective lanes only and to follow traffic signals strictly. Violation of
these should result in fines and in case of repeated offence the driving
license of the person should be confiscated.
Question 4 It is said that if you educate a boy, you educate a person and if you educate a girl you educate a family. Write an article in 150-200 words on the importance of educating women. You are Suresh/Shobha.
Answer:
Importance Of Educating Women
By: Shobha
Education of girls has been a high priority with the
Government of India. In the new millennium India has consolidated its earlier
educational reforms with increased resources and stronger policy commitments
for achieving elementary education, particularly for girls. ‘Saroa Shiksha
Abhiyan’ or ‘Education For All’ programme recognizes that ensuring the
education of the girl child requires changes not only in the education system
but also in society’s norms and attitudes. A two-pronged gender strategy has hence
been adopted to make the educational system responsive to the needs of the
girls through targeted interventions which serve as a pull-factor to enhance
access and retention of girls in schools on the one hand and generate a
community demand for girls’ education through training and mobilisation on the
other hand. The CBSE has also come up with the novel scheme of providing free
education from the sixth standard onwards to the single girl child.
If India wants to rank among the developed nations, it must give foremost priority to female education because if we educate a man, we educate an individual, but if we educate a woman we educate an entire family. If women are educated then problems like female infanticide, dowry, domestic violence, child marriage and other related atrocities will vanish. Education provides the essential criteria to fulfil certain economic, political and cultural functions and improves the socio-economic status of women. At every age and level education enhances the intellectual, social and emotional development of women and enables them to meet their basic needs. Thus most of the problems that our society today faces can be eradicated by educating the girl child.
